The mission of the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) is to strengthen the impact of Utah girls, women, and families. We serve Utah and its residents by 1) producing relevant, trustworthy, and applicable research; 2) creating and gathering valuable research-based resources; and 3) convening trainings and events that inform, inspire, and ignite growth and change for all Utahns. The UWLP was founded in 2009 by Dr. Susan R. Madsen, who leads this work as part of her faculty position as a scholar at Utah State University.
